BRIGHT PROSPECTS BEFORE IT.
Tho Popularity OF Nhe sheiiabarEer
Cattle Car Increasing.


An at.ache Of this paper yesterday
called at the office OF the Shella-
barger Cattle Car Company, 03S street,
for the purpose OF learning what was being
done by the agents Of the company who
are now in the west. Upon inquiry Of the
gentleman in charge of the Office as to what
the Sbellabarger car was doing and what
were the prospects OF the company, he re-
piled ~ have advices from Plttsburg
from Mr.. w. w. Heron, our secretary,
who informs me that he had arrived In
Pittsburg with sixteen fine cattle which
were loaded In the Shellabarger car In Chi
cago on the 2Sth. Their weight, when the
cattle left the stock yards In that CITY,
were certified as 81 500 pounds. The
journey to Pitteburg, where the load arrived
on the Goth Of May, was made very sue
cessfully and with great dispatch, and
when unloaded at the stock yards at Pitts
burg the cattle were found to have in.
creased In weight an even 200 pounds
Now II you will bear In mind the fact that
II these cattle had been transported by the
ordinary stock car they would have lost
weight Of that number Of cattle), simple
calculation will show you that there was a
saving to the shipper In this single load OF
cattle OF S43.05, or more than the entire
freight charges upon the same.n
"Have you anything further OF interest,
Mr.. Ramey W asked our reporter.
"Well,n replied Mr.. Ramey, "Ican only
say that Mr.. Heron also made an agree
ment in Plttsburg with the general mana
ger Of the Pennsylvania lines west of that
city for six trips, which, II as successful as
the first, have no doubt In the world will
result In contract for the employment OF
our cars on their roads at royalty. The
Pennsylvania road alone has 5000 (eight
thousand) cattle cars; so you will see that
the prospects Of the company are more than
bright. l have no hesitation In quoting for
you part Of the agreement between the
agent In Pittsburg and our secretary. III
these trials (Which have Just spoken of)
give satisfactory results, Mr.. McCrea will
negotiate with the company on the basis OF
royalty on each car, said royalty to be
paid at the time the car Is built and put In
the service and to last as long as the patents
are In existence.
$50, Mr.. Ramey, the shellabarger people
are well satisfied with the operations of the
gentlemen who represent your company 10
the west and with your prospectsS" inquired
the reporter.
eyes," answered Mr.. Ramey. "The Off.
GERS and directors Of the Shellabarger Live
stock Car Company never had the slighes,
doubt Of the result. We have got the thing
down to business basis, and you will soon
find the Shellabarger car In use on all the
principal roads In the country"

MARRIED IN BALTIMORE.

bour and Annie v. Keyworth In
wedIock.
II has been currently reported for some
weeks past that the marriage Of James F.
Barbour and Mrs. Annie V. Keyworth
would take place at an early day, and the
statement has been repeatedly denied.
Early this week publication in Sunday
paper stated that the marriage would take
place at st. Matthew's Church on the en-
suing Tuesday. The day came, but not the
wedding, but It seems the parties most in
terestedlhad arranged matters acceptably to
themselves, and the programme was carried
out yesterday. Not wishing parade or dis
play they took the train for Baltimore, and
arriving In that city proceeded to the resi-
dence Of Cardinal Gibbons, where they
were quietly married by his eminence.
Very few persons were cognizant of the
intentions OF the newly married pair, and
while their friends were not invited to wit
ness the ceremony still they all unite In
wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Barbour continued
health and happiness.
